CENTRAL MINNESOTA YOUTH SOCCER ASSOCIATION

To: Referees and Potential Referees 2015 Season

Because of the explosive growth of soccer in the area, there will be a great need for both new and returning officials. Without a successful referee program, we will have a great deal of difficulty providing qualified officials for all of the scheduled games. We would like to invite you and your friends and family members to become referees or assistant referees in our program. We will be providing free training on the dates listed below and hope that by providing this training anyone who completes it will feel confident to serve as a referee or an assistant referee. Please remember that the quality of the St. Cloud Area youth soccer program is largely dependent on providing qualified officials--please choose to be a part of our program!

For all new officials and those with less than five years of officiating experience in the

St. Cloud Area youth soccer program, training for assistant referees will be:

April 13th or 14th

NOTE: Anyone with five or more years of officiating experience is encouraged to attend the assistant referee training but attendance is not required.

Officials with less than five years of officiating experience, as well as those who complete training as an assistant referee and wish to serve as referees should attend one session each week for center ref position.

April 20th or 21st AND April 27th or 28th

All training will take place: 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM at

Training will begin and end promptly at the indicated times.

NOTE: All FIFA certified referees need attend only one session on April 27th or 28th

Each year the referee program has grown and become more professional. Please consider becoming a part of it and expanding your knowledge of the Laws of the Game and with it your appreciation and understanding of the world’s most popular sport!

If you have any questions about the referee program, please call Elaine Dix (290-3831) or Jack McKenna (253-6506).
